<font size=6><b>MIT MUSEUM BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR<br><br>
</b></font><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">
<font face="Times, Times" size=5>Every year the Collections staff of the
MIT Museum likes to invite our friends at the Dibner, Knight Fellows,
STS, and Science Writing Program to participate in a Behind-the-Scenes
Tour of the museum. This year's event has been scheduled for
Friday, November 18th from 2:30-4:15 pm. It is an opportunity
to meet the staff and see the various collections of the
museum. We know that the experience is an
enjoyable one for participants and it has also resulted in a number of
interesting collaborations as well.<br><br>
We would appreciate it if you would forward this invitation to the
members of your program--graduate students, faculty, visiting fellows are
all welcome. For those interested in attending, it
would be helpful if you would please send a short email to Debbie Douglas
(ddouglas@mit.edu) so that we have a rough idea of how many will be
coming.<br><br>
With best regards,</font><br>
